{"product_id":"9781480438903","title":"The Devil at Large: Erica Jong on Henry Miller","description":"\u003cb\u003eFearless, iconic poet, novelist, and feminist Erica Jong offers a fascinating in-depth appreciation of the controversial life and work of American literary giant Henry Miller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry Miller (\u003ci\u003eTropic of Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e) and Erica Jong (\u003ci\u003eFear of Flying\u003c\/i\u003e) are true literary soul mates. Both authors have been, in equal measure, lauded for their creative genius and maligned for their frank treatment of human sexuality. So who better than Erica Jong to offer an expert appraisal and appreciation of Henry Miller, the man and his art?\u003cbr\u003eAt once a critical study, a biography, a memoir of a remarkable friendship, and a celebration of the life and work of the author whom Erica Jong compares to Whitman, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil at Large \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the peaks and valleys of Miller’s storied writing career. It examines his tumultuous relationships—including his doomed marriage to June Mansfield and his lifelong tenuous bond with his mother—and confirms his standing as a creative genius. \u003cbr\u003eJong, a renowned feminist, courageously answers critics who accuse her subject of degrading women in his fiction, suggesting instead that he sought to demystify them by means of the “violent verbal magic of his books.” With grace, wit, warmth, and intelligence, Jong brings readers close to the man and his writing. There has never been a more incisive and insightful analysis of this exceptional American master.\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157012037872,"sku":"9781480438903","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480438903_p0.jpg?v=1769893941","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480438903","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
